<p>Some PRs need action from the author, but the author doesn't know what to do. See for example <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75127">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75127</a> and <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/71780">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/71780</a>. These shouldn't be marked as <code>S-waiting-on-review</code> because they're not ready for review, but <code>S-waiting-on-author</code> puts the onus on the author to figure things out.</p>

<p>I think S-waiting-on-help would communicate the situation more clearly to the triage team without ending up with situations like <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/72412#issuecomment-641929056">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/72412#issuecomment-641929056</a> where the triage comment just makes the author uncomfortable because they don't know what to do.</p>

<p>usually we can add some other labels e.g. areas, features, diagnostics, etc. without discussion iirc but in this case it's better to hear some thoughts from other members (maybe T-compiler?), I think. anyway I don't think I'm the right member to decide :P</p>

<p>i mean it's not compiler specific, it can be useful to other teams as well</p>
